Fang Jian from Earth became an immortal official in the Heavenly Court. Not only does he have a golden finger, but the Jade Emperor also values him.
So do you think Fang Jian will pretend to ...
"Do you two fellow Taoists have Buddhist names?" Lan Daoling asked Fenrir and Hela.
Fenrir and Hela were slightly startled. Although the six masters had already told them everything about the Jambu world, they were still caught off guard when they were suddenly asked about it.
Then the two of them looked at the Six Immortals of Buddhism. Tan Luan smiled and said, "We haven't chosen Dharma names for them yet. We plan to take them to the Jambu World and recommend them to the Bodhisattvas Samantabhadra and Ksitigarbha for training. They will then choose Dharma names for them."
Lan Daoling and the others nodded slightly, but Ao Yuan, Ao Jing, and Ao Qing whispered to each other, "These monks are plotting something bad again."
Ao Jing said: "I guess that demon wolf will be recommended to Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and Hela will be recommended to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
"What do you mean?" Ao Qing asked.
Ao Yuan said: "That Hela is the 'Goddess of Death' in this world, in charge of death and aging. Don't forget that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's temple was in the underworld. This Hela worshipped Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva...tsk tsk..."
"I understand." Ao Qing said, "Do you want to stop them?"
"No." Ao Yuan said: "Our goal is to complete the assessment. Don't worry about other things. Master Hongqing has his own ideas."
"What...what is that?"
At this moment, Hela, who was standing next to Fenrir, suddenly pointed at the mountain-like 'Mountain of Flesh and Blood' not far away and asked.
Fenrir turned his head and looked. Suddenly, something moved in his heart, as if he thought of something, and his face turned pale.
But Hela did not recognize it. After all, it was impossible for her to see the true form of her brother, the Earthly Python, from the pile of broken flesh and blood.
"That is the body of Jörmungandr, the Midgard Serpent."
Just when the immortals were thinking about how to resolve the issue, Cen Biqing on the side said in a cold voice.
...
Half an hour later, Fenrir and Hela stood in front of a huge tomb, in which was buried the ashes of the body of the mortal serpent Jörmungandr.
Yes, Jörmungandr's body has been burned to ashes and buried in this tomb.
"Graves are of no use except for memorials," said Fenrir.
Hela said, "At least we are doing him justice."
Fenrir sighed slightly and said, "Who would have thought that the giant serpent that made the gods of the Aesir helpless would be reduced to a pile of ashes after its death."
Hela whispered, "Originally there was nothing, so how could dust be stained?"
Fenrir's eyes lit up and he said, "Little sister, your Buddhist teachings have improved so rapidly. I, your brother, would like to learn a thing or two from you."
Speaking of Buddhism, Hela's face, which was full of melancholy and frustration, suddenly smiled. She nodded happily and said, "Okay."
The immortals in the distance were shocked by this scene. Li Bai, holding the wine gourd in his hand, forgot to drink for a moment: "I never thought that one day I would see someone discussing Buddhism in front of the grave of their loved ones."
"And the enemy who killed our relatives is right in front of us," Fan Lihua added.
Lan Daoling said sarcastically, "When it comes to persuading people to 'let go,' Buddhism still has its own way."
The Six Immortals of Buddhism only smiled and said nothing. Another stick of incense passed, and Fenrir and Hela had completely recovered from the death of the Mortal Python and returned to the Six Immortals of Buddhism. At this time, Monk Hongren said, "Fellow Daoists, it's time to talk business."
Everyone's expressions brightened up when they heard this, something big was about to happen!
The cultivators sat on the ground, with the Six Immortals of Buddhism sitting in a row. Then, Hongren spoke again, "This time, we will not compete with you for the assessment quota. We only want to take these two from this world to the Great World of Jambu. We ask for nothing more. However, we can lend a hand to you fellow Taoists and help you suppress the gods of this world. We will not seek any credit for anything else."
After hearing this, everyone present understood that the Buddhist sect saw that there were people worth recruiting and cultivating in the remnant world, so they decisively chose people instead of assessments.
After all, there will be great Buddhist masters participating in the assessment, so if a talented person misses it, he or she will really miss it.
But if they wanted to take their people away directly, or find a place to hide and wait for the assessment to be over safely, not to mention whether Master Hongqing would allow them to bring people back to the Yamabu World from the remnant world, they would inevitably encounter many obstacles and troubles here.
Therefore, in order to give an explanation to the Daoist sect, the Heavenly Court, the scattered immortals, and Fang Jian, the six Buddhist immortals Hongren, Xuanlang, Zhanran, Tanluan, Daochuo, and Shandao all stood up and bowed to the heavens after Hongren finished speaking. They said, "Master Hongqing, the six of us voluntarily withdraw from the assessment, but we would like to remain in this world for a period of time to help fellow Taoists. We hope Master Hongqing will grant us permission."
After the Six Immortals of Buddhism finished speaking, only a moment later, Fang Jian's voice reached the ears of the cultivators: "Accurate!"
